GOP Governor Kristi Noem caught up in the MyPillow guy’s latest scandal

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, who is locked in a four-way battle with Kim Reynolds, Greg Abbott, and Ron DeSantis for the title of 50th Best Governor in the country, needed a ride down to the Republican Governors’ Association Spring Meeting. So, she turned to Mr. MyPillow – Mike Lindell – and he gave her a ride down on his jet.

We all know how that turned out when Mr. MyPillow was told he could not attend the bund meeting because he wasn’t a full member of the RGA. So does he calmly and rationally say, “…oh well, got some time to enjoy Music City?” Oh, hell no. He went off on an extended rant against Ducey and Kemp and is now promising investigations against them. What’s been left out of a lot of the reporting on this—and what I just learned about this morning—was that Mr. MyPillow was in such a huff that he left Nashville early, and left CovidKristi stranded in Nashville, meaning she had to find her own way home.

The practice of state officials hitching rides on private jets like this needs to come to an end. Not only is it as corrupt as Hell to get private plane rides like this, but this sorry episode also highlighted the security risks that may arise when an idiot is put in charge of providing transportation to a high-ranking government official. Instead of relying on private parties for transportation, it should be ideally by state provided transportation. Or at the least by a commercial airline (American, Delta, United, etc).

Hopefully others will think twice about hitching rides with Mr. MyPillow after this since he left CovidKristi high and dry.
